My Recent Activities
Being a ‘pengacara’ (you know what it stands for, right? LOL) since last October 2006, practically I don’t have really strict schedule but Monday-Thursday 15.00-19.00, and Friday-Saturday 14.00-16.00. In the morning, I am free so I spend much time at Paradise Club (nongkrong beside the swimming pool for reading or scribbling in my cute notebook, or join the aerobics or do a little fitness), and at home.
Writing for my blogs indeed is one way to make my life more challenged, to avoid boredom. And, thinking of trying getting paid by doing one hobby of mine–blogging–made me register myself to join a program offered by Google Adsense. To promote my blog, I came to an idea to join more mailing lists. Before, I joined Perempuan, Sastra Pembebasan, and Rumah Kita Bersama (using my ID fe36smg) and PAUGM, Pria Sehat Tanpa Celana, WritersTavern, and Lapanpuluhan (using my ID fe_36_smg). To promote my blog at http://afeministblog.blogspot.com I join some more mailing lists, such as Apakabar, Mediacare, Zamanku, Forum Pembaca Kompas, and Forum Interaktif Kabar Indonesia.
Another activity that has made myself busier lately after my application was approved by Google is of course going online almost everyday. I don’t mind it of course. In fact I enjoy it very much, except that I have to spend more money for that. LOL.
Meanwhile, I have got more offers to join some other mailing lists. One of them is debat_antar_agama. I clicked JOIN in this website around three days ago, at the time when I was about to get offline. I set ‘daily mail’ in the membership.
Just yesterday I got a chance to drop by at warnet. Goodness, abundant messages from milis debat_antar_agama fulfilled my mailbox. From the titles I could conclude that many of them just contain rubbish, talking bad things about other religions, to emphasize their own religion. Really not educated people, I assume.
I remember the time when I was pursuing my study at American Studies UGM, I attended a seminar held by Comparative Religion Graduate Program of UGM, because luckily one guest lecturer in my major from Michigan–Professor Kenneth Hall–also taught in that program. Instead of talking bad things about other religions, in that major (Comparative Religion), students were sitting together, learning together the differences and similarities of one religion from other religions, without saying bad things about others. isn’t it lovely?
Why should people attack other religions only to say that his/her own religion is the only accepted religion by his/her God?
Last night when talking about this to my sister, I used annoyed tone–annoyed with those uneducated people swearing other religions. Simply, my sister said, "Joining such mailing lists will just give me headache. I have fun to join milis lapanpuluhan."
I was annoyed, yes. More annoyed today when I read some messages in that milis. But then I realize, this is the quality of Indonesian people, my fellow citizen. PABLEBUAT???
